Survivorship of monoblock trabecular metal cups in primary THA: Midterm results
(2008)
Monoblock trabecular metal cups are made of a novel porous material intended to enhance ingrowth and improve fixation. We prospectively followed 223 consecutive patients with 245 trabecular metal acetabular cups implanted ...
An anatomical update on the morphologic variations of S1 and S2
(2010)
Although percutaneous fixation with iliosacral screws has been shown to be a safe and reproducible method for sacroiliac dislocation and sacral fractures, it is a technically demanding technique, and one of its contraindications ...
Beware of the ulno-palmar distal radial fragment

Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?
(2004)
Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ...
Low-molecular-weight heparin for prevention of thrombosis: Inverted role
(2007)
BACKGROUND: Heparin induced thrombosis (HIT) after low-molecular-weight (LMWH) administration for thrombosis prevention is a limb and life threatening condition. METHODS: Two previously healthy individuals, with nonviable ...
